A couple days ago, everyone’s favorite bank account drainer Ticketmaster ruined a huge surprise Mike Patton and the rest of Tomahawk had in the works. Patton initially teased some Brady Brunch-based audio in a now deleted post back on Wednesday, February 18. After our lovely Hesher Keenan published a piece about it, our even lovelier

Earlier today, another batch of bands slated to play this year’s Fire In The Mountains festival were announced by organizers. And given the inclusions, it’s hard to imagine a world where folks would willingly decide not to head out to this thing. When the festival takes place this July, it will be host to Agalloch

Whoever said you can’t go home never told August Burns Red, because they’re back with Fearless Records. And after their time away, they’re dropping their new single “Behemoth” to get folks hyped. After two decades in the metalcore scene, these guys are back with even more energy to show how it’s done. Speaking of the

There have been hints and guesses as to who was replacing Alyssa White-Gluz for Swedish extreme metal band Arch Enemy. Plenty of people wondered who it could be, but with the release of their new track “To The Last Breath”, we now know who it is and no, it’s not Angela Gossow. The truth is

There are tons of eateries in the U.S. and even more way to make and consume a burger, but few locations peddling cow meat on a bun get recognition as lofty as Kuma’s Corner. For us metalheads, the food they serve is catered to us. For international food star/critic Guy Fieri, it’s a ‘top five

For the longest time, folks that didn’t really know much about Slayer and the dudes that made up that band would sometimes link their songs and imagery directly with the Nazis. Despite numerous attempts by the band to clarify that they weren’t pro-Nazi despite writing songs like “Angel of Death” and using an eagle in

Ugh, this is the sort of story that makes a person feel old as fuck. Two decades ago, the badass cartoon show Metalocalypse debuted, giving metalheads everywhere a show to watch and introducing the world to Brendon Small’s brainchild, Dethklok. And though the band isn’t real, per se, they’re going on a short headlining run

Fans of Arch Enemy hoping for Angela Gossow to fill the void left by Alissa White-Gluz are going to be disappointed by this news, as the former vocalist turned manager took to social media to say she’s not the band’s next vocalist. Rumors began to swirl last week when both Arch Enemy and Gossow posted

Earlier today, Polish extreme metal outfit Behemoth announced that they were canceling an upcoming show in Bangalore, India over what’s being described as “credible threats” from Christian groups in the area. The cancellation was announced in a social media post, in which the band issued a statement explaining the situation and their thought process behind

Judas Priest is worship music, I’ll just say it right now. The legends have a new, official documentary on their life story as a band, called The Ballad of Judas Priest, that’s rolling out. Its official preview clip just premiered on Rolling Stone, and you can watch it below. The documentary itself is currently making

Yeesh. Since all 3 trillion Epstein files have been released, we’ve been seeing some names we possibly weren’t expecting to see (but, such is life when everyone with power and money is a creep or creep-adjacent). Just look at Wasserman Media Group CEO Casey Wasserman as an example. A big name in entertainment, Wasserman has

Modern metal hard hitters Heriot released the deluxe version of their debut album Devoured by the Mouth of Hell and now they’ve released a killer single in the form of “Master of Deceit”. Dark, heavy, brooding, this track hits like a sledgehammer. Speaking of the track itself, the band describes “Master of Deceit” as such:

Mardi Gras. For so long, it’s been seen by non-New Orleans folks as an excuse to get wasted, see some titties, and collect colorful beads while parties happen all over the place. In reality, it’s got religious overtones linked to the Christian concepts of Lent and Easter. This year, however, it’s also linked to the

Sometimes, you don’t need a whole lot of time to tell an authoritarian regime to fuck right off. We’ve all been watching the steady backslide America’s been taking into fascist authoritarianism and Frozen Soul ain’t taking it anymore. Hence the release of their latest track “Absolute Zero.” Clocking in at just under one minute, the

New progressive metal outfit Blindead 23 (fka Blindead) have taken a major step in their career as a band, as they announced this week that they’ll be releasing their debut album Deuterium on just two months’ time. Comprised of ex-Behemoth guitarist Mateusz “Havoc” Smierzchalski, ex-Katatonia guitarist Roger Öjersson, and Vltimas, ex-Vader, ex-Decapitated drummer Pawel “Pavulon”

Covers can be fun. Covers can be interesting. Yet sometimes, covers can be unique, thought-provoking pieces that take the original subject material and make it their own. Such is the case for Israeli progressive/alt-metal outfit SUBMASQ, whose iteration of Rammstein’s “Mutter”, which takes the German industrial metal titans’ music and turns it into something else

Right now, there’s a tour going on that you might not want to miss. Of course, we’re talkin’ about Opeth and Katatonia cutting through the U.S. (and one stop in Canada). Both bands are titans in their own right and now fans of both can get their fill in one night. Earlier this month, we

Officials in Istanbul preemptively pulled the plug on performances by deathcore act Slaughter To Prevail and blackened death metal outfit Behemoth over what’s being described as potential issues stemming from “societal values.” In a statement posted on social media, Istanbul Governor Davut Gül explained the cancellations earlier today. In his statement, he said this decision

They may have just put out one of the most killer albums in recent memory with Krushers Of The World, but one thing you can’t say about Kreator‘s latest is that it’s a straight-up thrash metal record. It’s heavy as fuck, has death metal aspects sprinkled in throughout, and really takes pages from other metal

Canada’s own Voivod have a lot going on lately, as they’re not only working on recording a brand new album, but they’ve got a live album in the works, a new video game being developed, and they just dropped a new music video for a classic track. So yeah, I’d say they’re busy as fuck.
